yeah my weird aversion to b/w movies kind of scuppers that one for me a bit.

That I don't understand. I've met people who refuse to watch black and white movies, and it's a mystery to me as why. You're really missing out on some classic films.

There's so many great older films in black and white. I agree with you. People really miss out.

But, I grew up with a great local/UHF type channel in Philly that in weekends would show great older films. Mostly the Universal horrors and Godzilla/Gamera but others as well. Loved Bride of Frankenstein

Quote from: HappyGilmore on Today at 06:55:15 AMI've never understood the appeal of the Fast and Furious movies. Like, somehow they made 12 or something and I could barely get passed part one.

seen about half of one of the sequels (no idea which one)... I was surprised how blatantly aimed at kids / young teens it seemed.


QuoteGranted my choice in film is a little bit off. I've seen all the Friday the 13th films dozens of times and have the box set, so maybe it's just me.  :question:

that just means you have exquisite taste in cinema  :teddyr:
First two were incredibly popular when I was in high school. I feel the target is probably 18-25 year old dude-bros or frat guys.

Just never appealed to me. But they've made a billion dollars so I'm in the minority there.

No, the box set was about the Friday the 13th.

Other comments were about the Fast and Furious franchise
